How to get idea for concept art

Software engineer & artist Eric Geusz’s work is proof that inspiration is everywhere around us. For quite some time now, Eric has been transforming common household objects into spectacular spaceship designs, and they’re completely out of this world. From a can opener to a game controller, everything can be a rocket in Eric’s mind.

“I have been drawing and making spaceships out of Legos since I saw Star Wars in 1997,” “I’m a huge science fiction and fantasy fan, and often I find myself daydreaming, turning the world around me into my own world. I’m always inspired by the great artists of science fiction like Moebius, Ralph Mcquarrie, Chris Foss, Syd Mead and others. I used to love looking at concept art books as a kid (and still do). Some of my favorite video games are Homeworld, Mass Effect, and Halo.”

Eric encourages everyone to daydream more. “Spaceships are like dragons,” he said. “You are free to make them look however you want but how they make you feel is the most important.”

“Trying to come up with an original yet familiar design is definitely the hardest part,” Eric added. “There are so many good designs out there to pull inspiration from but I also try to find something unique. I make many sketches, sometimes starting completely over before I settle on something good.”
